The Library of Congress is completing the conversion of the Library of 
Congress Classification schedules into machine-readable form using the 
MARC Format for Classification Data.  An in-house system provides access 
to catalogers within LC.  At this time they are not available on the Web 
because not all the schedules have been fully reviewed.  We are exploring 
the possibility of making them available at some point in the future once 
review has been completed and other issues have been worked out.
